Playing with Fire

Easter Sunset
Another Easter Passes quickly As the sun sets And the birds sing Happy Easter to everyone celebrating today. I hope you’re having a nice day wherever you are in the world. I spent my Sunday having a fairly quiet day at home before wandering down to the lake in the early evening, partly to walk…
